Anyone have FIRSTHAND experience with Alisyn oil?
I was debating upon using it for a couple of more HP soon, but I ride my bike on the street a lot too and was concerned about engine protection.

I have used it and all I can say is I have 8 quarts I will sell you. i was not impressed with what they told me the HP gains would be... i did not notice a diffrence, but Zrxdean uses it and likes it alot. but let me know if you want to buy the oil I have I will make you a deal on it! make me an offer, I believe I payed 12 a quart, and I had to buy a case, for it but I can not rember, I have seen it on sale for 10 bucks a quart....

I dunno Mike! I trust you, you've got plenty of runs under your belt and I would presume would be able to tell if you picked up a .5 mph, or 1 mph or something.
I really need more input on this stuff.
A buddy of mine has it in his GSXR1000 and during a ride today, I noticed puffs of whitish smoke under full throttle accelleration from low speed/rpm's! Freaked me out! The bike only has probably 3000-5000 miles on it!
Made me wonder if it was the 0 weight oil causing that, and if so, can an oil that does that still be protecting the bearings???

Good timing BA, I just did a before/after test on Kevin's dyno Friday. Compared with Castrol dino 5W30, there was no change with Alisyn <0W synthetic. It actually pulled about 1hp less...but I'm not sure if that's a real effect or not. Compared to Shell 93, Nutec was good for 4hp and 1ftlb, from 6K to peak, with very little change in A/F ratio. I will be spending my oil money on fuel from now on.
I had been told that Alisyn oil produced a 2hp gain in before/after tests, and also read some encouraging statements on Brock Davidson's site. I had never tried before/after runs at the track, so I'm glad I tested it - $10 a quart. Maybe it works in other motors with different crank assemblies / rpm ranges.
The bike ran well this weekend - I ran 6-ohs @ 120 all weekend, with a (barely) new best of 6.025 @ 121.03, 1.53 60, and 3.992 330
The next run I was on my way to a 5 sec run with 1.493 60 foot, but wheelied after the 60 and slowed to a 4.01 330. Rrrrr.
There were a bunch of bikes at SEMDRA, it was a great race. Ashley Owens ran a 4.40 in ProMod, and Joe long ran a 4.89 in Outlaw. I made it 6 rounds Street ET then cut a .488 in the semis. The ZRX got plenty of attention - I think I had one of the faster dials at 6.05. I recommend SEMDRA to anyone within driving distance - I had a blast. The Bryces and all involved are a quality group.

Thanks B. Here's a 1000 words re: oil & Nutec:

and for those with 14" monitors:

Kevin's new shop is truly impressive. Stock, Mild to Wild in Jax, 904 389 1177, 2012 Blanding Blvd. Ask for 'The Cat' ...hee hee. The dyno room is a frickin' wind tunnel.

wow, that IS excellent timing!!
Glad to see some numbers on the Nutec. Rumours are one thing, dyno sheets are another. I'm surprised that you didn't neet to tweat the A/F after the Nutec.
Don't let that stuff sit in the tank overnight!
